I need ideas on how to relieve severe muscle pain due to exercise.?

I’ve tried ice packs to no avail and then switched to a heating pad which seems to help a bit more. It feels like my leg muscles are going to rip apart. I work out on a regular basis at the gym and never had this happen before. Have a feeling it was a new Pilates exercise that I tried, called the “Swim”. Can anyone recommend something to use that would help relieve the pain factor?

Chosen Answer:

DO NOT USE HEAT!!! heat feel better because it motivates blood to rush in and out of the injured muscle… when the heat is removed it is no longer leaving the injured area and it causes pooling. after a while the liquid part of the blood leaves and youre left with the plasma, the solid part of blood. in really sever cases it can calcify and you will have bone in your muscle. use ice 20 minutes on 40 minutes off 3 times MINIMUM or it is not any help at all. after the 1st few days if there is no change see a doctor

What is the best way to relieve muscle pain by yourself?

I have spent 5 hours digging and my muscles are hurting, i don’t have any money at the moment and would like to fix my back pains, what is the best and quickest way to fix it without spending any money?

Chosen Answer:

Take a hot bath, soaking in the water and relaxing. If your joints ache, try applying ice for 10 minutes on the worst painful spots. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol. If you can take aspirin, take 325mg tablet that will relieve swelling, and reduce pain in your muscles. Rest, but don’t completely shut down, because you should stretch and keep your muscles limber so that they don’t hurt so much later on.

For about 2 months now I’ve been in awful pain with my muscles, I haven’t done anything to bring it on though (no hard exercise etc)

you really need to see your doc and have some blood work done. Pain is not normal and it could be so many things. Please see your doc because it may be something different that is causing the muscle pain.God Bless

Ways to relieve leg muscle pain?

So, I am in the color guard at my school, and this past week we’ve had band camp, which is just 8 hours of being on my feet and running , etc.
Because of the long days and hard work, my leg muscles have been aching for days. Do you have any remedies for leg muscle pain that would be easy and simple?

Chosen Answer:

Brittany,

There are several products made for sore muscles and inflammation. Ask at your local drugstore – they’re over-the-counter. Some rub in and disappear, others are based in vaseline, so they leave the greasy stuff on your skin. I like Tiger Balm, but it contains vaseline and smells strongly of camphor and whatever else is in it – but it’s heavenly on sore muscles!

You should also be taking a good multiple vitamin that contains selenium – about 50mg is enough. Lack of selenium can cause leg pains. (A pharmacist shared this little tidbit with me.)

How can I relieve my muscle pain?

I’ve recently started weight lifting at my school and I think I over did it way too much because it’s already been 3 days and my muscle pain is still there, and the weirdest part is that I only worked on my upper body and my leg muscles feel just as sore as my upper body muscles. And I can’t even lift any small object for that long because then I feel a sharp pain in my arm. Any thoughts on how to get rid of my muscle pain?

How do I differentiate bone pain from muscle pain in a chronic pain situation in my feet?

I have had chronic pain in my feet since I can remember. I have had bone reconstruction surgery to lower the arch in my foot in the hopes that it would relieve some of the pain.

It did not work.

If I cut the circulation off to one of my feet and go numb, and that stops the pain – does that mean it was muscle or the bone that was the cause of the pain?

In otherwords – if I go numb, and the pain stops does that tell me anything about the source of the pain?

Chosen Answer:

I’m afraid not. You’re numb because you’re pinching off a nerve. Nerves carry pain messages from both muscle and bone. Unless you know exactly which nerve your pinching, you can’t target the pain.

How to relieve pain from gouts and muscle pain?

My mom has started just yeasterday what looks like a gout on her left elbow and on her left foot. Combined with that she has a lot of muscle pain all over her body. Any advice on how to relieve the pain? Thanks!

Chosen Answer:

Prescription drugs do help in treating your symptoms of aches and pains, but they are still drugs which in itself is the problem. By keeping your body pure, your body can focus on healing without having to first process chemicals, which are sliced and diced by the enzymes in your stomach, leaving very little of the effective ingredients still in tact. This breakdown of chemicals usually leads to a build up of toxins in the liver and essentially can begin poisoning your body over time–recent news headlines prove it.

ReliefMD uses a revolutionary new approach, dedicated to matching and combining the different properties of these oils into a single formula for superior pain relief. And to top it off, ReliefMD is NOT PETROLEUM based. This formula is the most unique combination of plant and nut extracts to give you an effective way to relieve pain.
